First Meeting

UNKNOWN POV:

"You shouldn't be here, Tae." Yelled Jimin, Tae's best friend.

"Are you crazy? How can I leave you to die here? And don't you know me?" Tae yelled back blocking a blow from opponent part.

"If your aunt finds out you are here, she will not only punish me, but you will be grounded too. Go back. You know I can handle these brats." Jimin yelled again punching left and right to the guy who hit him in face earlier.

Tae himself was already a black belt in martial arts and kung fu, so taking down these few people was like killing an ant for him. He quickly took down the men around him and went and helped Jimin.

After they took down the remaining, they both started running back home. Tae, in the midst of looking back to see if anyone was following bumped into someone. But that someone held him from falling down. Tae's face was buried in the chest of that person.

"Th-thanks a lot." Tae said trying to catch his breath.

"Are you okay?" The person asked. Man. He was a man or atleast he sounded like one.

"Yes, just- just trying to catch my breath." Tae said and the person helped him stand straight while still holding him in his firm arms.

Tae stood straight and finally after a while he looked up and was met with blue emerald eyes looking at him worriedly. Who was this person? A complete stranger, and worried for me? Tae thought while searching for answers in the person's eyes. And as if hypnotised, he couldn't take his eyes off that person's eyes.

"You sure you are fine? I can drop you home. You don't look well." The person said again still holding Tae.

"Your eyes..." Tae said out of the blues pointing to his eyes.

"My eyes? What about my eyes?" The person asked curiously with a raised eyebrow.

"They're.." Tae said and stopped.

"I have seen them somewhere. I have a very familiar feeling. I know them, maybe.. Who are you? Do I know you or do you know me?" Tae asked the person and he shook his head.

"How would I know?" He replied.

"Tae, Tae... Taehyung-ah, where are you?" It was Jimin calling out for him.

"I gotta go. My friend is looking for me. Anyways, thanks for catching me or I would hurt myself." Tae said smiling at the person.

"With me around, how would you get hurt?" The other man asked Taehyung making him blush a bit.

"I mean, I was around here and you suddenly bumped into me. I could only hold you." The man again.

"What's your name?" Tae asked him.

"JK.. And you must be...?" The man asked him in return.

"Taehyung. Kim Taehyung. But call me Tae just like my friends." Tae replied to him.

"Friends? Am I your friend now? What's your age? I turned 25 this year." JK said to Tae and Tae's face lit up.

"Wow, I thought you would be someone elder, you look like. I turned 25 this year too. That's great. We can be friends since you helped me just now." Taehyung said.

"Well, I don't be friends with anyone so easily. I am sorry, but being your friend would be great too. Just not so easily. You never know, the person you make friends with can turn out to be your greatest enemy." JK said to Tae.

Taehyung somehow felt offended at this remark. He took a step back pushing JK back. He ran his hands through his hairs pushing them back. JK was observing every little movement of Tae. Tae bit his lower lip and then looked around.

"Enemy? Ha?" Tae laughed sarcastically.

"What's wrong with that? Am I wrong?" JK asked his eyes not leaving Tae even for moment.

"Have you heard of the most famous Arms and Ammunition, fighter jets and advanced tech missiles manufacturers, THE KIMS? Well, I, Kim Taehyung, am the sole heir to the KIMS EMPIRE. And I am taking over next week. You see me as an enemy? Even when the person extending a hand of friendship is actually me? Do you even realise what you're doing?" Tae asked JK who stood there stunned.

"Well, do you know THE JEONS? The Underworld Lord and Lady?" JK asked just to check if Taehyung knew him.

"JEONS? Do you know from where the arms, the jets, ammunition that they use come from?" Tae asked and laughed again.

"My dear friend, let me tell one more secret." Tae said putting an arm around JK's neck.

"What is it?" JK asked.

"THE JEONS and THE KIMS are very much close to each other ever since my father's time. They have been and still are the most VVIP customers of THE KIMS. And we have been the only choice of THE JEONS for years more than our ages combined." Tae replied to him with a smile.

"I get it. So are you friends with Jungkook, the sole heir of the THE JEONS? I heard he's taking over as the Underworld Lord next week too." JK asked him.

"Yes, I know him, but never saw or met him. I hope he is as good as his parents. Anyways we will be meeting again as the new owners for signing a new consignment very soon." Tae replied to him.

"What? You wana be my friend now? You won't regret I promise." Tae said to JK who thought for a while and smiled.

"Well, yes. I will be your friend. But not because of your  identity. I just find you cute." JK replied and he smiled genuinely for the first time.

"Great, see you soon then. Here, this is my card. You know where to find me... Bye. Take care JK." Tae waved at him and ran leaving JK in a daze staring at the fading figure...
